Page 4 of 11 1 Introduction THE public web site is a fairly straightforward web site for online presence and communication with the public that went online on March 14, 2016. It will contain updated information on the project progress, public deliverables, relevant news, etc. The overall strategy for the website (and all other dissemination channels) will be fully described in Deliverable 6.2 - "Plan for the dissemination and communication of results". One important cornerstone in the strategy is that the website will take a product driven approach, rather than a traditional project centric approach. This document is an accompanying describing document to the actual deliverable which is the website itself. Chapter 2 describes briefly the background with information on basic strategy, stakeholders, technical requirements, and overall implementation. Chapter 3 depicts the various sections of the website. Chapter 4 concludes this document and indicates future work.
Page 5 of 11 2 Background 2.1 Strategy As already mentioned the overall strategy for the website (and all other dissemination channels) will be fully described in Deliverable 6.2 - "Plan for the dissemination and communication of results". The basic idea behind creating the project website is having a central place for pushing relevant information about the system and the SMARBUY project with an emphasis on the product driven approach. Providing easy access to resources and enablers of the project is important as such. The goal is to actively keep an attractive and easily available web, where stakeholders in an easy way can utilize and have an overview of our services and whom to contact. In the first year the project website will contain mainly general information about the SMARBUY system and our project. The content of the website will be dynamically updated to reflect project progress in the first year, as well as other information relevant to the project. The website structure will then evolve to reflect the aims of the project and the solutions that are being incrementally implemented leading to sections for public and tools used for assessment and other tasks that should be delivered by the project. 2.2 Stakeholders The target groups for dissemination can be grouped into SME Retailers, Consumers, the public, the FIRE community and its infrastructure providers, technology developers, and other (including academic institutions, media, etc.). The website is designed to be an entry point for all stakeholders containing links to target group specific channels where social media (Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) play an important role. 2.3 Technical Requirements The website has been designed to meet the following technical requirements: Provide access over the Internet from a plethora of web browsers (including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) Take advantage of responsive web design to allow for access from smartphones and tablets Be reasonable fast responding and quick loading
Page 6 of 11 2.4 Overall Implementation The website is hosted on a Linux server with Apache 2.2 [1] installed, and it is located in LTU s IoT Innovation Lab at campus in Skellefteå, Sweden. The DNS server is hosted by an external Internet Service Provider. Anyone on the Internet can view the public web site. Members of the dissemination and exploitation team within can update the website using SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol).
